Growth, instability and production analysis of oilseeds in India

The study was conducted based on secondary data collected for the period covered span of 30 years from 198990 to 2018-19. The study includes all nine oilseed crops. The study concluded that more area, production and productivity of oilseeds were contributed by kharif season crops than compared to rabi season in the country. The variation in yield of oilseeds was mostly observed in kharif crops than compared to rabi crops. The sunflower, safflower, nigerseed and castor seed showed more fluctuation in area, whereas in production all crops showed mild variation except sesamum crop and in productivity highest variation was seen in soyabean, safflower and groundnut crops.
